A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage (reese and hudson)

The servant quickly nodded and went to make the call.

As Lukas continued to apply the disinfectant to Reese's wound, she couldn't help but flinch and close her eyes in

pain.

Observing the graceful curve of her chin, Lukas couldn't help but notice the beauty of it. However, he quickly

reminded himself that her vulnerability was caused by Alexa's attack.

Lukas's throat moved slightly as he controlled his emotions. He lessened the pressure of his fingers while

disinfecting her wound.

Reese couldn't resist asking, "Mr. Strakovski, is the disinfection done?"

Lukas, who had been cold and distant, seemed to be somewhat surprised by her question. His face was a little

worried, but his voice carried a tinge of sarcasm as he replied, "Weren't you quite formidable when facing me

before? And didn't you get into a fight with Gwendolyn King at the Butterfly Pavilion? How cyou can't handle

a woman now? Where's that spirit you had when you beat her?"

Reese's face tensed, but she couldn't help but open her eyes slightly to glance at Lukas. "I have a sprain,

remember?"

Lukas snorted. "Yeah, you changed from Joan of Arc to a damsel in distress."

It was the first tthat Reese heard Lukas make a joke out of her predicament.

She couldn't help it, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. "I'm not that fragile; | just wasn't prepared," she

said with a faint smile.

Lukas raised an eyebrow, "Is that so? Then remember, you should always be on guard."

With a teasing smile, Reese responded, "All right, I'll remember."

Lukas continued disinfecting her wound meticulously and ignored Alexa as if she were a filthy object covered in

germs. "What happened here?" He asked the servant as he treats Reese's wounds.

The servant had a good memory. He described the conversation between Reese and Alexa, how Reese ignored

Alexa's threats, and the situation where he rushed over to catch Alexa like a mad dog.

After hearing the servant's description, Lukas didn't get angry anymore. Instead, he said, "Don't let wild dogs like

her in this house again. If it happens again, you won't work here anymore."

The servant nodded repeatedly in agreement.

The doctor arrived promptly, and he immediately attended to Reese, giving her two injections in her arm to help

with the pain and prevent infection.

The doctor also brought antibiotics and scar removal ointment to heal the wound and remove scars.

Lukas seemed to be in a good mood while tending to Reese's wound. When Ricardo arrived, Lukas was still

carefully applying ointment to Reese's neck.

Seeing Alexa crouching against the wall, her face covered in blood and tears, Ricardo felt a twinge of pain. After

all, she was his biological daughter.

But Lukas's silence spoke volumes, and Ricardo understood that now was not the tto speak up.

Lukas ignored Ricardo's presence and continued to take care of Reese's wound.

To help the ointment absorb better and let the wound breathe, he wrapped several layers of gauze around

Reese's neck, covering the wound.

After finishing the task, he looked at Reese's fair face and made a somewhat unexpected remark, "Looks like a

hanged ghost."

Reese's mouth twitched. She understood what Lukas meant - a hanged ghost had a white cloth wrapped around

its neck.

"Help Madam up to the second floor," Lukas instructed the servant after completing the treatment.

The servant immediately approached and extended a hand to support Reese.

Reese's eyes flickered with understanding; she could tell that Lukas didn't want her to be involved in handling

this matter. After all, her surnwas still Roberts.

Unfortunately, she no longer had any emotional ties to the Roberts family.

Reese disappeared at the top of the stairs, and Lukas finally sat down on the sofa.

He looked at Ricardo with a faint tone, "Speaking of which, | wanted to see you as a father-in-law, but you didn't

like it. You always oppose me. So, | had no choice."

Ricardo was extremely nervous and quickly spoke, "Mr. Strakovski, Alexa is still young, and she doesn't

understand things. Whatever mistakes she made, | apologize to you on her behalf. Please don't hold it against

her for the sake of Reese."

Lukas let out a cold snort, thinking about Reese's injuries, his voice filled with anger, "Still young? Isn't she the

sage as Reese, Ricardo?"

Ricardo was too scared to utter a word.

Lukas's gaze turned sarcastic as he continued, "Besides, she injured Reese. | still need to consider Reese's

feelings. Ricardo, what do you take Reese andfor?"

Though Lukas's tone remained calm, Ricardo felt weak in the knees from fear. He stammered, "Mr. Strakovski, it's

my fault. | failed to discipline her properly. On behalf of Alexa, | apologize to Reese and you. | promise | will teach

her a lesson when we get back."

Lukas ignored Ricardo's apology and straightforwardly stated, "A crazy dog like her should be kept confined at

home. This is not a place for her to run wild. If she insists on seeking death, then she'll end up abandoned in the

wilderness."

Ricardo's face turned pale and then red. He resented Alexa for causing this trouble. He glanced at her curled up

on the ground and nodded repeatedly, "Mr. Strakovski, | understand. Such a thing will never happen again in the

future." Lukas stood up from the sofa lazily and said, "It's best if you understand. Also, regardless of whether

Alexa is injured or crippled, she must get married to Gerald today. I've already talked to the Hughes Family, and

they are more than willing to marry Alexa today. Once this opportunity is missed, there won't be another chance

anymore."

Lukas deliberately emphasized the word "today."

With each word he spoke, Ricardo's heart sank further.

Hearing this, Ricardo quickly agreed, "They will definitely get married today. Once

they are married, | will send the dowry to you, Mr. Strakovski."

Lukas raised his eyebrows as he looked at Ricardo, acknowledging his initiative of being self-aware, and then

turned to go upstairs.

Ricardo walked over, helped his daughter up, and looked at her with both

heartache and anger. He quickly took her to the hospital.

Ricardo supported Alexa and left Hill Crest One Residence.

Alexa had never been frightened before, and she is unable to say a word at this moment.

Once they left the estate, she felt like she had escaped from the devil's territory. She was in extrpain all

over her body and burst into tears.

Ricardo glared at her in anger, "You still have the nerve to cry? After you ruined everything."

Alexa, in pain, held her stomach with one hand, looking extremely miserable. She covered her face with the

other hand and said, "Dad, I'm disfigured."

Ricardo felt both angry and helpless. "It's okay. With Lukas's intervention, even if you are disfigured, the Hughes

Family will still accept you. Just don't do anything foolish anymore. The Rhodes Family has been ruined. Do you

understand?"

Alexa turned around abruptly, staring at Ricardo in shock, "What?"
